I just don't see a piece of plastic with a balloon on one end costing significantly more than a brush. Not significantly more to be considered anything outside of "usual and customary".

Spatulas and brushes are not free, someone is picking up the tab. If it is true that the labs give them away they are absorbing the cost/or passing on the expense somehow.

I'm not saying cost is not an issue. I thought the improvement in cell collection is an attempt to reduce the number of false positives (or is it negatives) that would lead a women to accrue unnecessary medical bills. Bills that the insurance company does not want to pay.

I agree, insurance companies would rather you die instantly than pay hospital fees.

Cost is always an issue, no matter where you are in the world, but to say India and China would not adopt something based on there current state of development is a little far fetched. They have had no problems in adopting many of our jobs and the income that comes with it. Let someone in India and China manufacture the product (sans lead paint) and the cost will be more in line with their expectations of what it should cost.
